Baked donuts
Baked donuts are basically light cakes with a hole served for breakfast. When you want a fast breakfast dessert under 30 minutes, baked donuts are the way to go. These baked vanilla donuts still have the same great variety of flavors as traditional donuts but they’re thicker, and a bit more fluffy. It doesn’t require a tough process, long bake times, or a mess in the kitchen. Our baked donut recipes are one bowl! Which means you can add all your ingredients into one bowl, mix, and pour the batter into the donut pans. No mess, no added equipment, and it finishes baking in 15 minutes! These Iced Vanilla Latte Donuts will be your favorite breakfast dessert!
ESPRESSO POWDER
The key ingredient in this recipe is espresso powder. Baking with espresso powder is key when you want a coffee-based dessert (or when you want to bring out flavors in chocolate desserts). King Arthur Baking Co has an amazing espresso powder that’s perfect and ready to use for any baking! It’s a strong, vibrant, and robust flavor that’s perfect for your recipes!
